ON THE COVER
Distance and haze give this scene the misty quality of an old tapestry. In a sense, this might be called a modern industrial tapestry. It depicts a scene frequently repeated in today's growing South.
In a rural setting a great industrial plant rises, plumes of smoke from its stacks rippling like white banners in the wind.
Close by runs a Southern freight train. This modern steed lends the power of 6,000 diesel horses to the task of hauling the South's raw materials and finished products.
